Halo, salam kenal. Nama saya Danau. Sejak Maret tahun ini, saya datang ke Jepang sebagai Visiting Research Fellow di Waseda University untuk meneliti tentang anak muda ‘multikultural’ di Tokyo.
Saya sedang mencari peserta interview. Silahkan baca lebih lanjut di bawah ini atau hubungi kami. (Bahasa lainnya: 日本語 atau English)
Penduduk Jepang makin hari makin beragam. Meskipun begitu, penelitian tentang pengalaman anak muda yang berlatar belakang beragam budaya atau multikultural/multibudaya masih sangat terbatas, terutama yang berbahasa Indonesia.
Penelitian ini berfokus pada pengalaman anak muda di Jepang yang dipengaruhi lebih dari satu budaya pada masa kecil atau masa remaja melalui faktor-faktor seperti berikut:
mobilitas (pengalaman tinggal di lebih dari satu negara)
sekolah dan pendidikan
media sosial and media massa
hubungan sosial (misalnya: keluarga, teman, komunitas, dll.)
Peserta penelitian yang dicari
Dalam rangka penelitian ini, saya ingin interview orang yang berlatar belakang multibudaya yang berhubungan dengan Jepang yaitu seseorang yang:
pernah menghabiskan sebagian dari masa kecil atau masa remaja mereka di Jepang (3 bulan atau lebih sebelum berusia 18 tahun), atau
setidaknya salah satu orang tuanya lahir di luar Jepang, atau
setidaknya salah satu orang tuanya dianggap etnis minoritas di Jepang, atau
sejak kecil dwibahasa atau fasih dalam lebih dari satu bahasa, atau
yang lainnya*
(*Jika Anda merasa Anda berlatar belakang multikultural tetapi tidak termasuk dalam kategori yang tertera di sini, silahkan kontek saya.)
Metode pengumpulan data
Data kualitatif akan dikumpulkan melalui interview/wawancara (metode utama) dan ‘pengamatan terlibat’ yaitu ‘observasi partisipatif’ (tidak wajib) sesuai dengan metode penelitian di bidang antropologi.
Interview/wawancara
Interview akan dilangsungkan sebagai berikut:
Durasi 1~2 jam (tergantung kesediaan/kesibukan peserta)
Jam & lokasi Pada waktu dan lokasi yang nyaman bagi peserta
Pertanyaan Saya tertarik pada masa kecil dan remaja peserta dan pengalaman saat ini yang berkaitan dengan topik penelitian yang tertera diatas. Saya akan bimbing arah percakapan sesuai dengan topik penelitian ini tetapi karena interview antropologi bersifat informal dan santai, maka tidak ada daftar pertanyaan yang harus dijawab. Peserta bebas berbagi sesuka dan sebanyak Anda inginkan.
Perekaman & izin Interview akan direkam secara audio seizin peserta. Jika peserta berusia dibawah 18 tahun, maka saya akan juga meminta izin interview dari orang tua atau wali (guardian) peserta.
Pelindungan data pribadi & anonimitas Rekaman interview akan disalin dan dianalisa. Ada kemungkinan sebagian akan dikutip dalam artikel atau publikasi lainnya. Namun, nama asli peserta tidak akan digunakan dalam publikasi atau dimanapun baik secara tertulis maupun secara lisan. Bilamana peserta dikutip dalam publikasi, maka peserta akan diberikan nama samaran untuk memperlindungi identitas dan anonimitas peserta, kecuali jika peserta meminta nama aslinya dipakai dalam publikasi.
Pencegahan korona Peneliti telah disuntik 3 kali vaksinasi korona dan akan memakai masker saat tidak makan atau minum dan menjaga jarak sosial.
Para peserta sering berkata bahwa mereka senang diwawancarai karena cara interviewnya santai dan nyaman untuk berbagi cerita. Jika ada pertanyaan yang tidak ingin dijawab, tidak perlu dijawab. Meskipun sudah bersetuju untuk diwawancara tetapi kemudian berubah pikiran pada waktu interview sedang berlangsung atau sesudah diwawancara, peserta bebas membatalkan interview atau meminta supaya rekamannya dihapus.
pengamatan terlibat (tidak wajib)
Di bidang antroplogi, kami terkadang menggunakan juga metode yang disebut ‘pengamatan terlibat’ atau ‘observasi partisipan’ dimana peneliti ikut serta dalam pergaulan peserta sambil mengamati ‘kehidupan nyata’ peserta, yaitu misalnya di tempat belajar/kerja atau ketika peserta menghabiskan waktu bersama teman atau keluarga. Pengamatan terlibat seringkali dapat membantu peneliti memahami pengalaman peserta riset secara lebih mendalam. Tentu saja pengamatan terlibat tidak akan dilakukan tanpa izin peserta.

My name is Danau Tanu. I am a Visiting Research Fellow at Waseda University.
I would like to interview young people with a multicultural background. Please read below to find out more. (Also available in 日本語 or Bahasa Indonesia.)
Japan’s population is becoming more diverse but there is very little research on the experiences of children and young people growing up with a multicultural background.
This research focuses on how multicultural people in Japan are impacted by one or more of the following factors:
mobility/moving
schooling and education
media (including social media)
social relations (family, friends, community, etc.)
Participants: Who are you researching?
In this research, I am looking for children and adults (no age limit) with a multicultural background and a Japan connection. If you have received some Japanese schooling (in Japan or overseas) and identify with one or more of the following, please let me know:
spent some of their childhood outside of Japan (3 months or more before age 18),
have one or more parent(s) who were born overseas,
have one or more parent(s) who are ethnic minorities in Japan,
grew up bilingual/multilingual as a result of mobility, schooling, media, friends, family, etc.
other*
(*If you feel you are multicultural but don’t fit in the above categories, please let me know, I’d love to hear from you!)
Method: How do you collect data?
As an anthropologist, I will collect qualitative data through interviews (main method) and ‘participant observation’ (optional).
Interviews
I will interview participants as follows:
Duration 1.5 ~ 2 hours (depends on your availability)
Time & place We can meet at a time and place that is convenient for you. (In person interviews are preferred but online interviews are possible too.)
Questions I am interested in the participant’s childhood and current experiences relating to the research topic. The interview is informal, so I will guide the general topic of conversation but there are no formal questions. Participants can share as much or as little as they want.
Recording & permission Interviews will be audio recorded with the your permission. If you are aged 17 years old or younger, I will also ask for permission from your parent or guardian.
Privacy & anonymity I will later transcribe and analyse the interviews and quote some of it in publications. Unless you specifically request that I use your real name, I will always use pseudonyms to protect your identity, anonymity and privacy.
Covid measures The researcher has received 3 covid vaccination shots and will abide by the regular measures such as wearing a mask when not eating or drinking and maintaining social distance.
Participants often tell me that they enjoy being interviewed because I try to make sure they feel comfortable sharing their stories. This means that if you don’t like a question, you don’t have to answer it. Also, you can say ‘yes’ to an interview and then change your mind later during or after the interview. For example, if you change your mind after the interview, you can ask me to delete the recording. You don’t even have to explain why you changed your mind.
Participant observation (Optional)
Anthropologists also sometimes use a method called ‘participant observation’. This means we hang out with people ‘in real life’, such as at work or when they spend time with friends and family. This helps us gain more in-depth understanding of their experiences. But I will only do this with your permission of course!
Contact: How do I participate?
If you would like to participate in the research or find out more about the research, please fill in the Contact Form or feel free to contact me directly.
After transcribing and analyzing the data, I will publish the findings in academic journals (e.g. journals in anthropology, sociology, migration studies or education) to contribute to the scholarship on multicultural identities and education.
I will also publish the findings as newspaper opinion pieces or magazine articles (e.g. education-related magazines) to reach a broader audience and contribute to the public discussions on relevant issues.
I may also publish my findings as a book (for the same reasons) depending on the amount of data and subsequent funding opportunities.
This is the e-handout for the Keynote for Day 3 of the CIS Inclusion via Diversity, Equity & Anti-Racism Foundation Workshop held on 17-19 March 2022.
It includes the resources mentioned in the presentation, slide deck, and additional resources.
Description
Racism affects all students. We are all complicit in it. But how? In this keynote, Dr. Danau Tanu challenges us to a paradigm shift that lays bare the way structural racism infiltrates the student experience even in areas that seem unrelated.
She shows how the ‘hidden curriculum’ can obscure the real, underlying issues in areas such as international transitions (including repatriation), classroom engagement, campus social life, academic learning, and so on.
Her keynote will help us see old problems in new ways and be better equipped to support students.
Aims
To challenge us to think of old ‘problems’ in new ways by:
rethinking the frameworks we use to analyse ‘problems’
ensuring fairness in the way use these frameworks or categories
understanding that it is okay to address ‘the ugly’ in our hearts
understanding that racism affects all students
The Hidden Curriculum.

Inclusion via Diversity, Equity & Anti-Racism Foundation Workshop
The Council of International Schools is hosting a 3-day workshop on IDEA. I will be giving one of the keynote talks as below.
What’s the real problem? Can you see it?
